It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Sun1, just a note, I bought a G7 in March , one owner, nice shape, for $4400. It turned out to be a very nice unit. Stays in tune for over 7 months after the initial tuning. I got a good deal, but it doesn't hurt to look around awhile longer for a better deal. The price you stated seems a little high unless the piano is immaculate.

I love this little piano. I played on one for years at a restaurant gig and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The bass is not impressive but the entire treble is perfect. I saw one in North Carolina for around 6k recently so I think you could get a little off that price.

It depends on the year of manufacture. I think the last models in the nineties have the same plate as the C1 and are therefor comparable with the CG1.

Nevertheless the G1 is a nice baby grand. Some weeks ago I bought a 1982 G1 in excellent condition from a privat seller. The touch and tone is superb for the size of the piano. Absolutly no problems with the quality.

You may want to start a new thread, and provide a lot more information for a better answer- how does it sound, feel, and look? how was it used, kept, and cared for previously? have you had it inspected by a technician, and does it need anything?private seller, or from a dealer (with a warranty)?is it a gray market instrument or made for the N. American market?if it is gray market, what has been replaced?

The piano sounds, feels and looks good. I will have it inspected before I buy. Right now I'm just trying to get a ball park idea as to whether it is a reasonable deal. It is a private seller. The owner is close to a concert pianist. What is "gray market" and how would you know that? Also, I am in Canada so those are Canadian dollars.Thanks,Wilf
